R Programming:  R Basics
Register:  https://go.wisc.edu/29027x

Learning how to code can be intimidating, but will save you time and effort in the long run. This workshop will cover the basics of R programming. By the end of this session, you will be able to create variables, use pre-defined functions, understand data types and load and inspect a dataset using RStudio. This workshop is geared toward programming novices, so no previous experience is required.

R Programming:  Data Wrangling
Register:  https://go.wisc.edu/djuk5w

Data is rarely perfect out of the box. This workshop will cover how to manipulate datasets using an R package called dplyr. After this session, you will be able to select rows and columns, add new columns, remove missing data and create summary tables of your data. A basic working knowledge of R and R studio (functions, operators, data types) would be helpful for you to get the most out of this session.

R Programming:  Visualization
Register: https://go.wisc.edu/ef68qt

So now you’re familiar with R, but want to do more with your plots than the base graphics package. This workshop will show you how to use the ggplot2 package in R. After this session, you will be able to create a variety of plot types, alter their aesthetics, and create custom themes. A working knowledge of R and R studio and dplyr would be helpful for you to get the most out of this session.

R Programming:  Reports
Register: https://go.wisc.edu/i38zj3

Documenting your analysis in a way that is understandable to a colleague (or yourself 3 months later) can be challenging. One way to make reports more readable, even by people who don’t code, is to alternate human readable text with machine readable code. This workshop will cover creating reproducible reports of this type using knitr. After this session, you will be able to create R markdown documents, add formatted text and executable code blocks, and render the R markdown document into a final report.
